Top Hat

A small pollution containment chamber, known as the top hat, is loaded onto the deck of the motor vessel Gulf Protector at Wild Well Control Inc. in Port Fourchon, Louisiana May 10, 2010. The chamber will be used in an attempt to contain an oil leak that was caused by the mobile offshore drilling unit Deepwater Horizon explosion. Picture taken May 10, 2010.

...According to petrochemical engineers, BP has chosen to plug the well in the Gulf of Mexico with the exhumed body of dead actor and director, Orson Wells. The corpulent American director was best known for his starring role in Citizen Kane as Charles Foster Kane and later as spokesman for the Paul Mason Vineyards. He died in 1985 at the age of 70 in Los Angeles, California.

I thought it would be larger than that, but what do I know about all this.

I really don’t think this one will work either,,,

They will have to drill wells(4?) around the leak and then

try to cap it with a “Top Hat”,,,

Another undersea pipeline may have to be laid directly

to Port Fourchon to drain down the field...
